Feliz Navidad Christmas Cactus Wood Slice - Clearsnap

Stenciled-and-Embossed-Feliz-Navidad-Christmas-Cactus-Wood-Slice-with-Chipboard-Christmas-Lights

Hi! I'm sharing a wood slice that I painted and embellished for Clearsnap today. I started this project with a Walnut Hollow Basswood Round and the new Terrarium Art Screens Trio. ColorBox® Art Screens Trios offer three unique stencil images designed for use in sequence to create beautiful layered art. The screens can also be used individually. I used all three screens from this set, plus a strand of chipboard lights, to create this festive home décor piece.

Repeat the inking and embossing process with the second succulent Art Screen. (Ink pads from the Paintbox Sets can lift out of the case as shown. Apply color to large areas by using the handle on the back and pressing the ink pad directly to the craft surface.)

Color a strand of chipboard Christmas lights with pigment ink. Paint highlights to each bulb with Moonlight Smooch ink. Sprinkle clear embossing powder over the inked chipboard. Gently tap off the excess embossing powder and heat to set. Secure the colored lights to the base of the stenciled terrarium.

Use a pencil and carbon paper to transfer the sentiment Felìz Navidad onto the wood slice. Paint over the words with Tuxedo Smooch.
